Hello everyone, my name is Dr. Gopaldo Don Jasmin, and I am thrilled to join Montgomery Prep Academy this school year!

EXPERIENCE: (21) years in educational operational leadership programs. Previous educational leadership roles include: Principal, Instructional Coach, Assistant Principal, Director of Education, Campus Director, Department Chair, Academic Director and Co-owned/operated Faith Hope Charity Christian Academy in Mount Vernon, New York. In addition, I have served in unique capacities as Supervisor of Externship for Teachers, Adult Education Program Manager, Instructor, Education Community Manager, Recruiting/ Admissions Coordinator, Counselor, Tutor and Author.

PHILOSOPHY: I am very influential when participating in educational programs, such as faculty leadership, professional development, adult education, training, communication and management centering on student’s academic success. I have utilized empirical data and research to publish books focusing on K-12, adult literacy and teaching for a practical change.

BACKGROUND: United States Navy (NROTC Scholarship). (10) years as a commissioned naval submarine officer. Resigned with honorable status and received a Navy Commendation Medal. Completed undergrad at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, Illinois majoring in Military Science. Earned an MS in Education Psychology from Mercy College in New York. Completed doctoral program in Organizational Leadership and Behavioral Science in Education at Argosy University in Sarasota, FL.

FUN FACT: I have published three books:

• Teaching for a Practical Change! “Rethinking the preparation of teachers”
• Why Our Children Cannot Read – and how to prevent it
• Leadership in the Classroom for First Year Teachers

I look forward to meeting and working with all of you as we aim on student academic success.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

We are a proud member of ACCEL Schools—a public charter school network serving thousands of PK-12 students throughout the United States. ACCEL was founded in 2012 by the early pioneers of online learning. Our leadership believes that all children, regardless of location or socio-economic background, deserve a quality education that prepares them to succeed in school and become productive global citizens.  

ACCEL Schools Instructional Model provides: 

• Aligned Academics meet or exceed state standards ensuring your child is on track for rigorous college and career opportunities.    
  
• Certified, Licensed Teachers and a student-centered staff are united in executing our mission to make a difference in the life trajectory of each student.    
  
• More Time on Task and double the instructional minutes for ELA and Math maximizes learning in your child’s school day.   
  
• Short Cycle Assessments keep track of how students are progressing in the program, giving teachers ongoing feedback so they can tailor instruction to your student’s needs.    
  
• Individualized Instruction driven by assessment data means we are familiar with the needs of each child and set students up for success in each course of study.    
  
• State Testing Preparation reduces the anxiety often associated with high stakes tests, helping our teachers and students feel confident with the structure and methodology of state exams.    
  
• Academic Support including education technology, interventional specialists, and instructional aides assist students during the school day. After school tutoring, summer school, and Saturday school programs extend support services beyond the traditional school day and year.   
  
• Extracurricular Courses & Activities round out our educational offerings providing students social-emotional learning, athletics, arts, service learning & more.

Many thanks to Lauren Mixon at Channel 2 News WDTN for covering our school reopening today. Watch the clip here, which includes an on campus interview with Principal Wyckoff.

“As students entered the building, they were very excited about meeting their teachers face-to-face…We are practicing social distancing and following the guidelines of the CDC and it seems as if our parents have done an excellent job in educating the students regarding being safe while at school.”
